“Thanks to the broad adoption of our flagship embedded VoIP product, vPort™ and the introduction of our communications user interface, mCUE™, we’re experiencing tremendous growth in two distinct business silos,” said David Wong, chairman and CEO of D2 Technologies.  “This reorganization will help streamline our operations and enable us to meet and exceed our design, production and customer service goals.  We couldn’t ask for better business unit leaders than Doug and Paul, who have made significant contributions to D2 over the years.  These promotions are well-deserved.”
